Revelation 2
1 To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks:
“Gulembi hangu kwa ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa shipinga sha wantu shawamjimira Yesu wa aku Efesu. “Neni yankola ntondu zilii saba pakati pa liwoku lyangu lya mliwu na yomberi kagendagenda muvintambi saba vya limuliku lya zaabu, ntakula hangu,
2 I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy endurance, and that thou canst not bear evil men; and thou didst try those who say they are apostles, and are not, and didst find them liars;
nuvimana matendu gaku goseri, nuvimana ntambu yagugangamala na kuhepelera kwaku. Nuvimana handa hapeni guwahepeleri wantu wadoda, guwajelisiya walii yawalitakulira kuwera wantumintumi na kumbiti ndiri, guyambuliti womberi ndo wapaya.
3 and thou hast endurance, and hast borne on account of my name, and hast not become weary.
Gwenga gwanawu uhepelera, guhepelera kwa kutabika kuvuwa kwajili ya litawu lyangu, kumbiti guwuya ndiri kumbeli.
4 But I have this against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.
Kumbiti nanashi shitwatira shimu shakukuberiziya, gwenga gunfira ndiri kayi vinu gambira kwanja.
5 Remember therefore whence thou hast fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come to thee, and will remove thy candlestick out of its place, unless thou repent.
Su guliholi ntambu yaguweriti pamberi pa kuguwa, gukawungami na kutenda ntambu yagutenditi kwanja. Hera hangu, niza kwa gwenga na kushiwusiya shintambi shaku pahala pakuwi.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Kumbiti nukuzyuma kwa shintu shimu, gwenga gugakalalira gawagatenda Wanikolayi ntambu yanugakalalira neni.”
7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my God.
“Yakawera na makutu su kapikaniri weri galii Rohu yakavigambira vipinga vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu! “Mkanka hanumpanani kuliya mabwajubwaju ga mtera gwa ukomu yagulikala mu shiwunga sha Mlungu.
8 And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These things saith the first and the last, who was dead, and lived again:
“Gulembi hangu kwa ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa shipinga sha wantu shawamjimira Yesu wa aku Simurina. “Avi ndo visoweru vya ulii gwa kwanja na gwa upeleru, namweni howiti na kulikala kayi, nonga hangu.
9 I know thy affliction and poverty, (but thou art rich, ) and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
Nuzimana ntabika zyaku, nuumana viraa uhushu waku, tembera nakaka gwenga ndo mlunda, nuzimana nyengu zyawakutendiriti walii yawalishema Wayawudi kumbiti Wayawudi ndiri wanakaka, su ndo shipinga shakuwi Shetani!
10 Fear not the things which thou art about to suffer. Behold, now, the Devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye will have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.
Nagutira nakamu kwa galii hagakutendi gutenduwi. Gupikaniri! Shetani hakawajeri kwa kuwatula wamu wenu mshibetubetu, mwenga hamtabiki kwa katepu mashaka lilongu. Muweri waminika mpaka kuhowa, naneni hanuwapanani lijenjeri lya ukomu.”
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that overcometh shall not be hurt by the second death.
“Yakawera na makutu su kapikaniri weri galii Rohu yakavigambira vipinga vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu! “Mkanka hapeni katenduwi nakamu na kuhowa kwa pili.
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamus write: These things saith he that hath the sharp two-edged sword:
“Gulembi hangu kwa ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa shipinga sha wantu shawamjimira Yesu wa aku Perigamu. “Avi ndo visoweru vya ulii yakawera na upanga ukalipa wana ukola kuwili.
13 I know where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan is; and thou holdest fast my name, and didst not deny my faith, even in the days in which Antipas was my witness, my faithful one, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Nukumana kwagulikala. Gwenga gulikala pahala papawera na shibanta sha ufalumi wa Shetani! Kumbiti gwankali mwaminika kwa neni. Gunemiti ndiri kunjimira ata lishaka lilii lya Antipa, kapitawu gwangu mwaminika, ulii pakalagitwi pakati pamwenga palii pakalikala Shetani.
14 But I have a few things against thee; thou hast there them that hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling-block in the way of the sons of Israel, and to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.
Kumbiti nanaga madidini kwa mwenga gaherepa ndiri. Muwera na wantu yawakola mafundu ga Balamu yakamfunditi Balaki kuwalekaniziya wana wa Israeli waliyi viboga vyawatambikiriti vinyagu na kutenda uhumba.
15 So thou also hast men holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans, in like manner.
Ntambu iraayi, kwana wamu wenu wantu vilaa yawafata mafundu ga Wanikolayi.
16 Repent therefore; or else I will come to thee quickly, and will make war with them with the sword of my mouth.
Su guleki madoda. Hera hangu, hanizi kwa gwenga kanongola na kulikomanga na wantu awa kwa upanga waulawa mumlomu mwaneni.
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, I will give of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it.
“Yakawera na makutu su kapakiniri weri galii Rohu kankuvigambira vipinga vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu! “Mkanka hakampanani shiboga shawashishema mana, shilii shashififikiti. Hanumpanani vulaa libuwi lifufu lyalilembitwi litawu lya syayi lyeni kwahera muntu yakalimaniti ira walii hera yawalyankiti.
18 And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass:
“Gulembi hangu kwa wantumintumi wa kumpindi wa vipinga vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu wa aku Tuatira, awu ndo ujumbi wa Mwana gwa Mlungu, masu gakuwi gang'ereng'eta gambira motu, na magulu gakuwi gang'ereng'eta gambira shaba yawasuguliti.
19 I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and thy endurance, and that thy last works are more than the first.
Nuvimana vitwatira vyaku vyoseri. Nuumana ufiru waku na njimiru yaku na untumintumi waku na uhepeleru waku. Gwenga gutenda viherepa nentu vinu kuliku kwanja palii.
20 But I have this against thee, that thou sufferest thy wife Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess, and she teacheth and seduceth my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
Kumbiti nanashi shitwatira shimu kwa gwenga shiherepa ndiri. Gwenga gulijimilirana ndiri na mdala ulii Yezeberi yakalishema mbuyi gwa Mlungu, yakafunda na kuwapotuziya wantumintumi waneni watendi uhumba na kuliya viboga vyavitambikilitwi vinyagu.
21 And I gave her time to repent, and she will not repent of her fornication.
Numupanana shipindi sha kuleka madoda, kumbiti kalema kulekana na uhumba wakuwi.
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and those who together with her commit adultery into great distress, unless they repent of her deeds.
Gupikaniri! Vinu nankumwazibu kwa malweli yomberi pamuhera na woseri yawatenditi uhumba nayu, hawapananwi ntabika nkulu handa pawaleka ndiri madoda matendu gawu madoda gawatenditi nayomberi.
23 And her children I will slay with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and hearts; and I will give to every one of you according to your works.
Kayi hanuwalagi wantumini wakuwi, su vipinga vya wantu vyamjimira Yesu vyoseri vivimani handa neni ndo yandolandola myoyu na maholu ga wantu. Na hanumtozi kila yumu kulawirana na matendu gakuwi.
24 But to you I say, the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, such as have not known “the depths” of Satan, as they speak; I put upon you no other burden;
“Kumbiti wamonga mwenga yamuwera aku Tuatira mfata ndiri mafundu gakuwi Yezeberi na mlifunditi ndiri shilii shawashishemiti bada ya Shetani, nuwagambireni kuwera hapeni nuwapanani shisanka shamonga.
25 but that which ye have, hold fast till I come.
Mwenga mkoleleri galii gamuwera naga vinu mpaka paniza kayi.”
26 And he that overcometh, and he that keepeth my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, —
Mkanka na yakendereya kutenda vitwatira vyanuvifira mpaka upeleru, hanumpanani ukulu kwa wantu wa maisi.
27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of a potter are broken to shivers, —as I also have received of my Father.
Handa neni nanka ukulu kulawa kwa Tati gwangu na yomberi hakawalonguziyi kwa luhonga lwa shuma na kuwamegamega gambira vyombu vya litapaka.
28 And I will give him the morning star.
Kayi hanumpanani ntondu ya mandawira.
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
“Yakawera na makutu su kagapikiniri weri galii Rohu yakavigambira vipinga vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu!
